Comment:After a first month of irregular bleeding, my periods went from back breakingly painful, nausea inducing cramps that lasted 7-9 days andwere heavy to 3 days of light period with little to no cramps. I also had acne at 23 years old and it stopped it where nothing else ever had. I get a little headache at the beginning of each new week when the hormones change and a little moody, I also put on 5 or 10 pounds Im not happy about. Otherwise this pill did everything my previous pill did but more and better. I recommend this to anyone with heavy painful periods and acne. Hide Full Comment
